Choose a different context without changing the day's target. These are invented teaching examples; any implied policy, bill, court fact or legal conclusion needs the source stated. Worked guidance gives a teacher a starting response, not a claim about a live person or current rule. None repeats the two check files.
| Day | Context swap 1 and worked steer | Context swap 2 and worked steer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Community garden: A volunteer asks visitors to use one gate and calls violation “a crime”. Work: identify an organisational rule; ask for valid local law before a crime claim; a safety purpose alone does not enact legislation. | School esports room: A club sets an equipment-return time. Work: club can enforce membership terms according to its process; do not call late return a criminal offence without a relevant law and facts. |
| 2 | Public pool: Closing time is posted only behind the counter. Work: clear public notice would support predictable application; ask how people using different communication formats receive it. | Market stall: One trader is blamed for litter solely because a bag has a similar logo. Work: investigate evidence and allow response before a consequence; a logo alone does not identify who left it. |
| 3 | Bicycle storage: A social post says a new helmet bill passed. Work: verify an authorised current Act and commencement, not the post; a bill title is not proof of force. | Small business: An online article paraphrases a court decision. Work: find the judgment and relevant enactment before attributing a legal rule; the article cannot establish specific customer conduct. |
| 4 | Accessible footpath proposal: A Queensland committee considers a model bill. Work: committee scrutiny is not assent or commencement; Parliament/executive/courts have different functions. | Night market: A fictional state minister announces a proposed offence. Work: an announcement is policy, not the enacted text; check the Assembly, assent and operative provision. |
| 5 | Youth music room: A poster reports a proposed late-closure rule as already law. Work: mark proposal/venue rule separately and ask for enacted source before any penalty claim. | Bike-share bay: A staff member applies an unpublished return rule to one user. Work: consider notice and consistent treatment, then distinguish operator policy from statute. |
| 6 | Public schools: State operation of schools is a residual-power example. Work: do not infer that every education-related law is state-only; ask for a particular law and head of power. | Environmental notice: A model state and Commonwealth rule differ. Work: concurrent law-making may be possible; s 109 needs valid laws and actual inconsistency, not merely different aims. |
| 7 | Theatre doorway: A broken pane is reported. Work: a report does not identify an offence, charge or court jurisdiction; start with relevant current law and facts. | Delivery depot: A driver cites a case name to prove another person damaged a parcel. Work: a legal precedent may guide interpretation; it does not witness the event. |
| 8 | Sports shed: A coach says a student must prove they did not take a ball. Work: do not import a criminal court burden into ordinary school processes; if a criminal case arose, prosecution generally proves guilt beyond reasonable doubt. | Library sign: An invented Act requires “clear notice” but gives no definition or offence. Work: ask purpose/context and access questions; never create a penalty from the teacher's guess. |
| 9 | Museum label: A panel calls a 1986 report “the present-day views of all Aboriginal communities.” Work: date the report and reject the universal attribution; seek community-approved contemporary material. | Land-use workshop: A facilitator says courts always enforce a single customary law. Work: separate many living law systems from their specific, limited legal recognition; check current law and local authority to speak. |
| 10 | Transport kiosk: A draft bill and a staff rule are both labelled “new criminal law.” Work: classify status separately; no offence or guilt follows without law and proved facts. | Arts festival: A curator pairs an old government source with no contemporary community partner. Work: say exactly what the old source supports and who must be consulted for a living perspective. |
